The Department of Defense said Tuesday the Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific in San Diego awarded the firm-fixed-price BPA under the DOD Enterprise Software Initiative using the General Services Administration’s Federal Supply Schedule.
DOD uses Red Hat software products to support warfighting missions and operations, ensure compatibility across networks and protect against vulnerabilities.
